thanks guys. This cabinet was used in private garages and carriage houses. In one of the brochures, it states "first floor" cabinet. At first glance one might think that meant something like "first cabin" or "first class". After moving it into my garage, I decided it meant "you're crazy if you try to move it anywhere other than on the ground level". lol
It's listed at 1100 lbs. empty. I had 5 guys helping me get it up the 4 stairs of my office, and it took every one of us.
Don Ok that makes sense. I agree that does have to be the buy of the year and thanks for sharing the pics of something I never even knew existed.
I am always looking for anything Texaco or Oklahoma oil and gas company's, also I am a newbie at seeking globes.

Here's my buy of the week. $5 bucks at the flea market from a nice old lady who's husband owned a texaco station. I asked if she had anything else like that and she said my husband had a pump at our house, if you can move it you can have it! I know it's not much but it's a mega score for me and my first pump also! http://pbckt.com/pQ.Ohqx7Rhttp://pbckt.com/pQ.OhVQ8Thttp://pbckt.com/pQ.OhVQLA

Both are nice items. A gas pump and an air meter for $5.00. Best 5 bucks you will ever spend.

I think any Old Gassers would be happy with that $5 score, let alone a nice pump thrown in the deal for the taking!
Good job!
